For Tiger Woods, the year 2009 wasn’t a very good one.
The bad news started when the golf juggernaut got into a serious car crash that left him badly injured.
After the divorce, Nordegren moved on.
As it turned out, the rumored baby daddy was football hunk Jordan Cameron.
So what’s the deal with Cameron?
Here’s everything we know about the man Tiger Woods' ex is dating.
But in time, he developed into one of the NFL’s most talented tight ends.
But his journey to the University of California was not exactly a smooth one.
For starters, he was already a student at Brigham Young University in Utah.
While that put a crimp in his plans, the footballer didn’t give up and pack it in.
Way to not give up!
Looking back, Cameron knows he made the right move.
“If I didn’t make that decision, I definitely wouldn’t be here today.”
It’s a lot easier to make buckets when you’re that height.
That’s when he was spotted by USC coaches, who were impressed by his abilities.
Soon after, a scholarship offer was on the table.
The improbability of it all is not lost on Jordan, who could hardly believe what had happened.
“Crazy, right?”
he asked in an interview with Cleveland.com.
“What are the chances?
You think about fate and whether things are meant to be.
What an absolutely wild story.
He suffered multiple concussions
It’s a well-documented fact that the NFL has a concussion problem.
The last one was in September 2016 against his former team, the Browns.
That does not sound pleasant in the least.
This decision was in spite of the fact that Cameron had been given a clean bill of health.
“I’m not risking that at all.
There’s nothing more important than your health.”
We have nothing but respect for his decision, which couldn’t have been easy.
“If I didn’t get concussions, I’d probably keep playing,” he noted.
But he stands by his decision.
“It’s such an issue in the NFL, and it should be,” he told ESPN.
“They didn’t know,” he continued.
“I want to say I hope they didn’t know the serious implications of these things.”
Fortunately, all of that has come to light, so it must be addressed.
“Now I feel like seven years later people know how serious this can be,” he added.
“Unfortunately it takes people dying to figure that out.
That’s the saddest thing in the world to me.”
In fact, his cousin is none other than pro footballer Su’a Cravens.
Also, remember that younger brother Cameron helped out by running routes?
He ultimately went on to play for the X-League in Japan, as noted byThe Japan Times.
That’s not all, either.
Apparently, sports are just an intrinsic part of the family’s DNA.
Indeed Cameron is a Mormon, though he has his own approach to his spirituality.
“It’s big on family and I’m a family guy.
So he’s solid in his guiding principles.
But that wasn’t the unintended result of a whirlwind romance or a one-night stand.
“Her friends are so happy for her because he is wonderful.”
Additionally, Cameron and Nordegren were pleased as punch about her pregnancy, as were their kids.
“Obviously he’s a big part of my life.
Cameron also cited his son as the reason he retired several years later.
“I want to be there for him,” he revealed in an interview with ESPN.
“And I want more kids, and I want to be present with them.”
That’s parenting done right.
Arthur wasn’t the couple’s first choice of name for their baby boy, though.
They initially named their son Filip, filing to change his legal name just a couple of months later.
A reason for the name change was not disclosed.
Nordegren reportedly gave birth to another son in December 2022 but kept the announcement under wraps.
After he and Charlie hit their tee shots, they looked into the camera and congratulated Elin.”
Nordegren hasn’t revealed her newest baby’s name as of publication.
“Football is the greatest sport.
I really believe that,” he shared in an interview with ESPN in 2017.
“It’s the most difficult.
You learn the most about yourself in football.
It’s a hard sport.
You have to be very comfortable with being uncomfortable.”
Clearly, he remains passionate about the sport, and he believes that it’s truly valuable.
That doesn’t mean he wants his children to shoot for the NFL as a career goal.
“All that being said, I really do not want him [Tristan] playing.
“But I know what goes on and the hits you take.
Cameronreplied, “Dude my kid calls me that when I kiss my lady or if I hug her.
And he’s dead serious.”
But that’s not how things played out.
In fact, Woods called Nordegren his “best friend” onThe Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
We go back and forth.”
Additionally, their personal relationship has improved dramatically.
“We communicate so much better now, it’s incredible,” he continued.
“I wish we would have done that earlier on.”
Sounds like a positive family dynamic for all adults involved.
